This is the crux of the Panthers situation. Consistently making luxury picks that don't pan out.

TBH, it's been a rough draft so far. XL is looking suspect for a guy that was a trade up. Brooks may never play meaningful snaps for us again. Wallace could be a guy? Hard to say so far. Sanders may be a stud. The guys after that are basically nothing.

If XL or Wallace don't pan out, this was a classic Panthers dumpster fire draft.

For a 2-15 team, the first 3 picks should be day 1 starters or at least the 1st 2 with rotational 3rd. 

Certain positions are routinely found in particular rounds more frequently. It's like we draft without this in mind and gamble on raw prospects instead of filling positions of need with likely starters. I just don't get it.

That’s exactly why you don’t spend a high pick on one

2nd rounder isn't a high pick. That's generally when the best C's start coming off the board.

2nd rounder is high for a RB. That's just moronic.

He takes the weirdest positions on roster discussions.

I'd much rather have a young franchise Center for that second round pick we used than an RB who has torn his ACL in the same knee twice already at 21 years old.

Guys who've never been hurt still get hurt. You can't predict it. 

You have a positional value "preference" doesn't make another's decision wrong. Knowing we had Corbett under contract, with BC they bet on addi g weapons to an offense that SORELY lacked them.

BPA met NEED, the injury was considered a non-issue from most evaluators.

Obviously no one has a crystal ball to predict injuries but good RB's can and have been had in the 4th and 5th rounds.

At one point earlier in the season with McCaffrey out the 49ers had an at the time league leading running back who was undrafted.

You simply don't have to sink a pick in the first 2 rounds to get a productive back anymore. Chuba Hubbard was a 4th round pick. He's pretty good no?
